Planning a wedding from across the country can be a challenge, and Haley and Brett managed the process from Chicago while relying on local support here in Jacksonville. Although Haley’s parents live in the area, the couple needed guidance to bring her garden inspired vision from the design board to the wedding day. They selected Jacksonville Golf and Country Club for both the ceremony and reception and hoped to host the entire celebration outdoors. The club frequently holds member events on the lawn, but full outdoor wedding receptions are less common, which meant careful planning was essential.

Spotlight: Rose of Sharon European Florist
Last night, we had the pleasure of attending the premiere of Rose of Sharon's recently remodeled studio. Amazing! The transformation makes me want to re-design our office.
The space formerly used for bridal consultations (and the accounting department!) now has a stunning “greenhouse” feel. The team actually demolished the paneling and found gorgeous brick walls. Add in some unique display shelves and the look is incredible.
And speaking of incredible, the new wedding section is fabulous. Not only is there a couch and a large computer monitor for viewing photos, but every type of vase, container, candelabra and column is right there to touch and feel. I feel like a kid in a candy store each time I walk in.
If you haven't selected a florist for your wedding, be sure to make an appointment with Lynette or Judy!
Spotlight: La Terra Resort and Spa
Recently, the girls and I took a little trip down to the World Golf Village to re-visit Laterra Resort and Spa. We did a wedding at this venue back in October, 2006 - how time flies!
The beautiful Mediterranean-style architecture is an elegant backdrop. Can you imagine arriving under this porte-cochere in a horse-drawn carriage or antique Rolls Royce?
The outdoor lobby area is available for wedding receptions. as is the lawn/pool area. Ceremonies can be held facing the stunning fountain, or the dramatic arches of the building.
Laterra is a beautiful property, but its only drawback is the lack of indoor space. If you consider hosting an event there, be sure to consider the weather!
However, the added bonus is that the guest accommodations consist of 1 bedroom-, 2 bedroom-, and 3 bedroom-suites with full kitchens, which are great for families.
And of course, the best bonus is the Spa! While we didn't take any photos inside, the relaxation room is to die for - a circular room with a water/rain feature from floor to ceiling. Amazing! And the floating cabanas over the koi pond look heavenly for a massage.
Laterra does not have on-site catering, so everything must be brought in, including tables and chairs. For more information about rentals, contact Susan at (866) 828-3772.
